Warranty and do I have to use Main Dealers?

WARRANTY – POPULAR MISCONCEPTIONS!

“I have to take my vehicle to the main dealers to keep my warranty” or “I have to take my car to the main dealer because it’s leased”

NOT TRUE

Since the EU Block Exemption Regulation 1400/2002′ (in short BER) came into force in October 2003 the Vehicle purchasing and repair industry has undergone a radical change. YOU, the motorist, NO LONGER have to go to the main dealer to have your car serviced or repaired, as is popularly believed, to keep up your warranty.

With the introduction of Block Exemption the vehicle manufacturers warranties are NO LONGER reliant on the consumer, taking their vehicle to a garage in the main dealer network. The European Commission deemed that this would be “an unjustified restriction on the consumer.”

CHOICE

You can now choose the “quality independent garage” you wish to take your car to, and provided that your vehicle is serviced using the manufacturers schedules & recorded and repaired within the manufacturers guidelines, with dealer quality parts.

IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR WARRANTY

In most cases this will save YOU the motorist 25% or more on your service and repair bills.
